My 2 arrived too, very quick on the posting now.

Ent-E and Vorcha are 2 of my faves from the universe and have pride of place on the shelf.

I have about another 8 issues of space before I need a new shelf, but they are a bit crammed in together smile

Krenim Time ship next month!

The Krenim ship is interesting but it's the Nebula I'm looking forward to particularly.

My delivery was attempted on Sat so they are arriving super early this month.

Got it today, only had a quick look, Nebula (the USS Honshu interestingly) is very nice. Krenim ship interesting.

Got them yesterday, Nebula is as nice as could be, time ship is quite cool.

Shelf is starting to groan a bit now, running out of space, hmm, may need some new display cabinet ideas...

We have the E if that's the one you mean. It's a good model, considering the size. Seems to be in scale with the D. We got ours on eBay for a tenner.

I'm fairly sure that these will appreciate in value if kept nice, a few of them are hard to come by.

Yep,only about 6 ships on back issue on the official site,and eBay prices are about 50% higher than cost...nice little earner.
Shame I just want the Fed ships

Got mine on Wednesday both ships look really good, also had my first bit of trouble with a stand (nebula class) which kept tipping forward so stuck a little bit of paper in the hole before pushing the stand in and its like a rock now. I also had a bit of a special moment with the Krenim timeship as I put it on the stand backward realised my mistake took it off and promptly put it on the wrong way again

Got my next couple of models yesterday they both are really well made, the xindi ship is actually quite big compared to some of the models which helps with the details at the back of it, prometheus is one of my favourite ships and this one is very nicely constructed, I will also say that Eaglemoss have been true to their statement of "you will get any outstanding models eventually" as I finally got issue 3 yesterday.

Me too I finally got my Bird of Prey and a very nice model it is! The Xindi Insectoid ship and Prometheus are also very good, though a little more detail under the saucer on Prometheus would have been nice.

If they could just get around to sending me issue 2.............

Think £160 is an acceptable price to take for my collection up to Ent-E? Plus the specials and free gifts?

Issue 28, the Maquis raider hit the shops today, I've picked one up and its one of the good ones, really good size and sculpt. Only downside, the paint is very silver, and looks a bit odd. Still, nothing worth worrying about.

My subs delivery hasn't arrived yet, so can't comment on Issue 29, the Jem Hadar Attack Ship, but it looks great in peoples posts to the Facebook page.

The Jem Hadar ship is very nice. It looks great displayed with the Defiant and the Klingon Bird of Prey. The Hideki class can join it too when it comes out.

Only thing is the colour is too light so it doesn't look as ominous as it should.

Both my models arrived on Friday both look really well made, but the person doing the layouts in the magazines had a very bad day paragraph with no spacing and a picture overwriting the bottom on some text, just need to order some new glass shelves as I have filled up the shelves in the cabinet I have

My subs copy finally arrived today, same day as Issue 29 is in the shops.



I was perhaps a bit lukewarm about the raider at first, but its a real grower, its great.

The Jem Hadar Attack ship is perfect, totally perfect. A great month all in.
